Sapphire Secure best budget provider yet?

by SafePay8

So I was looking for a new provider just for PPV and football/soccer streams, I don't watch TV anymore and mostly use EmbyShares to watch shows. Came across this provider who sells packages for $5 a month which is probably the cheapest per month I've come across, understandably I was hesitant but $5 is nothing so what is there to lose?

They have 3 different packages depending on how many need to use it, Silver is $5 but only 1 can watch at a time, Gold is $8 but 3 can watch at a time and Platinum is $10 and 5 can watch at a time. Pretty good deal. So when you buy it, it's automated so your log in details are sent to you right away with a link to their APK and a m3u and EPG link. Personally found it nice to have a m3u link with so many providers forcing you to use their app now. Their apk is just your standard IPTV Smarters Pro, so it's nothing special. Personally I recommend you splash another couple of dollars on Tivi Mate which is about $5 one off payment. It's the best IPTV app imo, so I used that to test this service.

First day not going to lie it wasn't good, a lot of stuttering and channels not working. For some reason this completely stopped the next day, I have no idea why, maybe they were having a bad day. The next few days I had ESPN playing in the background while I was doing stuff, it was playing for a few hours and didn't notice any freezing or channel going down. It seemed pretty stable, I also watched a NBA game and experienced no buffering. I just want to point out no IPTV sub is buffer free so I'm sure even this service will have buffer moments from time to time. I think watched a Liverpool match, now for anyone who uses IPTV to watch soccer can confirm, watching a team as big as Liverpool play never seems to go smoothly. I've only had about 2 providers in my life time be able to make it through a big soccer match without buffering but surprisingly this service managed to do that, so credit to them.

I found the EPG to be a little behind at times, nothing serious but something that could be improved on. All in all I would say this gets a 8/10. Mainly for Value + Reliability I don't think it can be beaten, now I'm not saying it's the best but just for the price and what you get I don't know any better. So I would recommend this service if you're like me and only need IPTV to watch a few games, I would also recommend it for people who just need a back up option to their current provider.

I must also state like many providers there's no VOD

I noticed each plan has a different amount of disk space, I.e. 20GB disk space. What does this mean?

I currently use this service. I don't have a android device other than a 10 inch tablet with no HDMI out. I use and prefer Kodi and Simple client. The only issues i have are To many blank EPG slots and many of the blank channels simply do not play. Since the Xtream Codes take down, none of the services offer a channel line up I am interested in. 1000-10000 channels is NOT a good thing. You get a very poor EPG, so many channels you need to start 2 days ahead and make a list of things to watch. I myself speak English, I am not interested in ANY non English programming. Does any one need the Food Channel in 6 different languages? If you are addicted to sports watching in a language you don't speak might suite your needs.

Tivimate is $5/year not one off payment btw.

I'm looking for a cheap backup I'll test them out thanks for posting

This was my first provider i tested so nothing to compare to, but during day uk time it was solid, however uk evening buffering happened on a few channels but thats to be expected.

The EPG is next to useless imho right now after a refresh of dat virtually all channels missing epg data with most showing it ran out this morning.

US was fine but the UK Tv mapping is wrong in places, for example, BBC one HD is actually less than SD Version, BBC News is not uk BBC news but world news which is not even broadcast in the UK, Film 4 is not film 4 but Filmon? one of the Sky Movie channels linked to sony movie freeview channel

I use Sapphire as my back-up. Keep in mind most streams are 640p at best it seems. For $5 a month, can't be beat imo.

How does one find sapphire?

This service is what I currently use and I find them as reliable as other service providers. That’s why it’s best to have two services too, normally when one is down the other is up... unless they get their content from the same servers.

Do they have m3u playlists?

Edit: nvm I’m blind

my first day with it so far is great and i used BlueStacks to use the Service on my PC and it worked just fine. i subscribed to Silver 5$ and i used some code (TewfikB) i found in YouTube that discounted it to 2.5$ for the whole first month.

I switched to Sapphire after the whole TPK fiasko. I’m happy with the service. Have the 5 connection plan. Use this on every TV in my house!
